Default 88gt front end clunk/rattle

i have a 1988 gt the has a clunk or rattle whenever i go over bumps in the road. if i depress the brake pedal before the bump there is no noise. everything in the front end is all stock. i have recently replaced the wheel bearings on both side, outer tie rod ends, sway bar end links, and shocks. does anyone have any thoughts on what this could be? like i said it is only if i am going over bumps without touching the brakes. thank you for any help you can give.

Loose brake pads are your problem, at the front (drums stock on rear are no problem). That is why they are quiet when you feather the brake pedal.
